Looks ok to me as long as you're satisfied with the condition of the dial. Just be aware of the size, and that it is a hand-winding watch with a screw-down crown. Some people don't like that combination for daily wear.

Obviously, we would need more photos for a full evaluation of the watch and bracelet.

Here you go and thanks a lot! It comes with rivet elastic bracelet.

Love the dial and overall look. Is the second hand blued steel or painted black? I think they were blue in this period (assuming late 50’s early 60’s). I would make sure to get a pic in bright light to make sure the patina is even. I’ve always warned an elastic bracelet, they seem like they’d be really comfortable and they don’t stretch out like the non-elastic versions. The clasp looks later.
